May 25, 1977: A Far Time Ago in a Galaxy Long, Long Away . . .

The year 1977 is significant and worthy of commemorating for many reasons:
--It snowed for the first and only time in Miami, FL.
--Roy Sullivan was struck by lightening for the seventh and last time.
--Led Zeplin played their final concert in the United States in Oakland, CA.
--And the Chinese Communist leader Deng Xiaoping was restored to power.
--1977 also welcomed to the world some of the Earth's greatest human beings: Orlando Bloom, Liv Tyler, Kanye West, Becky Boyce, Milo Ventimiglia, and Vince Carter.

But who among us can forget the REAL reason why 1977 is pretty much the raddest year in the history of the world? If you don't know what I'm talking about yet, I have only five words for you: "You scruffy-looking nerf herder!"






So you think you can quote "Stars Wars" better than anyone else? Bring it on!

Thanks for posting, Bude! Is anyone else out there listening? Tyger? Pepelucho? Anniebannie? "I've got a bad feeling about this."

Ah yes...Can you remember where you were when you first saw Star Wars? I was with my sweetie, Grandma and Grandpa Boyce and Pattie and Robyn in a little town called Durango Colorado. We left wee Beck at home in Monticello with Grandma Lyman....Long, Long ago in a galaxy far far away....
